The Fendertones – Sloop John B
An evening pause: I like how they had recorded it over a period of months, and had an element of silliness in how they taped different sections. And the music is grand as well!

Charles Mokotoff – Bach: Sheep may safely graze
An evening pause: Performed live November 13, 2010 in Springfield, Virginia. The aria might be one of Bach’s most beautiful, but the playing here is astonishing. Watch his fingers.
I also like the deeper meaning of the title: It is what we all should strive for: allowing people to live their lives in peace and joy.
